In His Image Ministries

Friday September 22 Bible Reading:     1 Sam 3: 15 - 21 Topic:                  Confirmation Of Samuel's Ministry Samuel began his ministry under Eli at the time when the Lord had rejected the ministry of Eli because of the corrupt practices of his children. There was scarcity of the Word of God in Israel and Israel lacked spiritual direction. (1 Sam. 3: 1), God abandoned the old Prophet Eli, called Samuel into service and used him to deliver a message of judgment against Eli and his family. Samuel did what God commanded him to do and the Bible recorded that "The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up and He let none of his  words fall to the ground. And all Israel .... knew that Samuel had been established as a Prophet of the Lord. Then the Lord appeared again in Shiloh, for the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of the Lord" (1 Sam...

Tuesday September 12 Bible Reading:     1 Sam. 1: 12 - 23 Topic:                  The Lord Remembered Hannah We read yesterday how Hannah a barren woman prayed to God in her distress.

She named him Samuel meaning "Because I have asked of him from the Lord" This is a wonderful breakthrough from the Most High. You too shall have your own breakthrough in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Are you waiting on God for any issues in your life? Is your faith becoming weak? Does it se...

Monday September 11 Bible Reading:     1 Sam. 1: 1 - 11 Topic:                  Hannah Arose And Prayed To God Hannah, the wife of Elkanah had no children, because God had closed her womb. This sounds strange but sometimes God allows unexplainable situations in peoples' lives for reasons best known to Him and for His Glory ultimately. However, Elkanah had another wife called Peninnah who bore him children. She used to provoke Hannah to make her miserable because of her barrenness (Note: In the Creation Mandate, God does not permit polygamy - Gen. 2: 24; Matt. 19: 1 - 12) Hannah therefore found herself in a troubled home. Are you in a troubled home, or experiencing any barrenness? Be rest assured that Jesus, our burden Bearer will still the storm. God closed Hannah's womb; Elkanah and his entire family used to go to Shiloh yearly for worship...
